SAFETY DRAIN'ER.

Application filed March 12, 1927. Serial No. 174,938.

This invention relates to safety drainers and shows a simplifiedconstruction tobe used in manufacturing, and we wish to secureprotection on the parts hereafter shown and described, in order that wecan use them in combination and as an improvement in the manufacture ofa safety drainer for which a patent was issued to Nellie E. Sharpneck,on June 22nd, 1926, Number 1,589,486.

The object of this invention is to provide a safety drainage cover ofextremely simple construction designed so it can be manufactured bydies, and other machinery in avery inexpensive manner and in such a waythat the parts can be assembled and the drainage cover completed withoutusing anything whatever to fasten the different parts together.

Other objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent from thefollowing detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, asillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which drawings:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of a safety drainer embodying thisinvention, illustrating the same secured. and in position .on a pan.

Figure 2 is .a side elevation thereof, illustrating the safety drainerpartly in section.

Figure 3 is a vertical section, taken substantially on line A of Figure1, and shows the circular screen frame at one stage of its manufacture.

Figure a is a vertical section, taken substantially on the line A ofFigure 1, showing the circular frame complete with the screen in place.

Figure 5 is an outside, side elevation of the circular screen frame.

Figure 6 is a side elevation of the wire handle.

In the preferred embodiment of this invention illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, 9 illustrates a pan having atits upper edge anoutwardly extending lip or rim 10 and having a handle 6 secured thereto.

The safety drainer herein illustrated preferably comprises a circularframe 1 constructed of a thin portion of material, such as tin or thelike, and is formed to correspond to the curvature of the upper edge orrim 10 of the pan 9, the frame 1 is of slightly greater diameter thanthe outside diameter of the rim 10 of the pan 9.

\Ve have herein illustrated in Figure 3, and Figure 1 how a circularportion of'wire screen 2 is secured to the circular frame 1, Figure 3shows the circular frame 1 bent up in U shape with the inner side 12bent over to form a circular flange 13, onthis flange the screen 2 isplaced, then the outer part 11 of the circular frame 1 is rolled overand pressed down on top of the screen 2 this sccures it in place asshown by Figure 4.

The handle 3 is preferably of the construction as shown in Figure 1, andFigure 6, it is composed of a single portion of wire which is bent soboth ends extend across the top of the drainer, where they are bent downand under to form projections 4-4 to fit into the recesses Z7 in thebottom of the circular frame 1 and extend on under the rim 10 of the pan9 as shown'by Figure 2, on

the opposite side the wires are bent down with slight projections 55which fit into the recesses 88, in this position the wire handle 3 issecurely fastened to the circular frame 1, the wires are bent up formingtwo Y loops 14, the downwardly extending portions 15-15 go each side ofthe handle of the pan 9 and prevents lateral displacement of the safetydrainer when the same is posit1oned upon the rim 10, the central portionof the wire forms the handle 3 which extends out on top of the handle 6of the pan 9, and by merely holding the handle 8 and the handle 6 thesafety drainer will be ,se-

curely held in position on theriin 10 no matter what position the pan 9is turned or rotated to.

Having fully described a preferred einbodiment of this invention it isto be understood that we do not wish to be limited to i screen securedto the said frame, and a Wire cesses in the outside part of: thecircular handle of parallel WllCS secured across the frame, with thewires extending out beyond said frame with the two ends of the Wire thecircular frame far enough to form u 10 handle turned down and back toform inhandle for the safety drainer.

wnrdly projecting lugs, and at a point dim metrically opposite to thesaid lugs, two NELLIE 1*). SI-IARPNECK. inure projections are formed tofit into re- ELIEL L. Sl-IARPNIrICK.
